This is an excellent textbook for anyone who wants to get into creative writing. It is very easy to understand and gives dozens of examples taken from texts written by contemporary writers. It also offers different approaches to a variety of topics and ideas. What I found innovative about the book is that it explains things that writers need to take into consideration, but that we usually don't, such as the energy of the text. So, whether you are taking a class on Creative Writing or simply wish to get a guide this is the book for you!

Book was required for class in school. A great reference for productive writing. I would recommend this to anyone looking to improve their writing skills.

Book Came to me in great condition and really worked out in helping me with my prodjects in my creative writing class.

This book was required for my Creative Writing class but I plan to hang on to this one for my personal library. It can seem mechanical at times "do this, not that" but it has wonderful general tips that every writer needs to know, beginner or professional. The reading selections have so far been well chosen to illustrate the principles taught in each chapter.
